Bath re-enamelling in Mepal without replacing anything
Re-enamelling gives a worn bath a new glossy surface without a refit. It’s the answer when the whole bath is tired rather than one spot. We regularly repair Victorian roll-tops, acrylic baths and basins & shower trays, and the jobs we see most are wear marks under the taps and chips and rust in more than one place.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Mepal and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so we treat and seal the metal before filling.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Mepal and nearby
Mepal is about 6 miles west of Ely, in Cambridgeshire. Jobs in Mepal are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. We work in all 371 towns and villages in Cambridgeshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Mepal to London (63 miles away).
Our visits in CB6 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. From High Street, Sutton Road and School Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. We also cover the places around Mepal: Wardy Hill (2 miles north-east), Coveney (3 miles east), Way Head (3 miles north-east), Horseway (4 miles north) and Oxlode (4 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Cambridge (14 miles south), Huntingdon (13 miles west), St Ives (10 miles south-west), Ely (6 miles east), March (10 miles north) and Whittlesey (15 miles north-west).

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Repair dripping taps promptly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Common problems we fix in Mepal
Hard water speeds up the wear, and abrasive cleaners do the most damage.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A roll-top that is seen better days
- Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
- Brown or grey marks that do not clean off
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What aftercare is recommended
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes most of the day. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we look the bath over and confirm the finish.
- Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
- The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
- We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
- The masking comes off, we tidy up and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CB6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A bath that’s rusted through
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What affects the price in Mepal
Resurfacing from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What else we do in Mepal
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Mepal
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you resurface freestanding baths?
Yes, frequently. We resurface the inside, and the outside can be refinished too.
Will the new finish last?
A well-prepared finish lasts a long time if it’s looked after. Gentle cleaning, no suction mats.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Repair or replace in Mepal?
Replacing a bath normally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and normally one day, and the bath can be used the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
